Looks as if SJW Nation is about to have another round of anti-cop outrage in St. Louis and abroad. What's your general attitude toward cops? In general I suppose, but also specific to the issue of using deadly force against (supposedly) unarmed/undeserving individuals.

my general attitude towards cops is that they're sort of like thugs we hire to police thugs. Your question is kind of stupid because there's only one right answer: it's appropriate to use deadly force if an unarmed individual is trying to grab a cop's gun, and it's inappropriate otherwise. When you ask your question, do you think there's a possibility I'll say, "it's totally OK for cops to shoot unarmed people even when they're not being threatening?" I don't see why you'd ask the question otherwise.

no. it's compelling but not the whole story. qualitative value matters a whole lot more than quantitative value, which consequentialism ignores.

How do you feel about the majority of the AltRight being composed of white populists who advocate the return of nothing more than a stop gap of Fascism instead of a proper system monarchy ?

fine with me

Emergent group think in the mass media (be it in the audience or the journalists), organizations, and blog comments sections is a threat to any serious discussion of ideas. Do you have any thoughts as to how to prevent a forum of ideas from degenerating into an ideological singularity?

yes
on More Right I forbid comments so only other people with blogs can respond
it's fairly simple

When will your book on monarchy be published?

Within a month hopefully. I'm only about 40 pages from the finish but I keep finding new things I have to read before completing it. Very soon, I promise.

Is the fall of baseball in the national conscious because of baseball, or is it a function of who controls the mass media?
